Physical Description

Residential school camp tucked away on the headland of Point Peron with direct access to the beach. The various cabins are scattered around the site, each being timber framed with weatherboard and fibre cement cladding and tiled hipped and gabled roofs. The cabins and ancillary buildings are located around an open grassed area with formal oval and sporting facilities at the lower land level close to the beach.

History

This group of buildings is one of the seven purpose built camps located throughout Western Australia constructed by the Department of Education.
The Camp Schools have been operating since the late 1960s and were originally designed so that government school students could extend their educational opportunities outside the regular school setting.
